Yaraehyang

Yaraehyang is a Chinese restaurant in Jongno, Seoul, serving jjajangmyeon, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk. Its gochu jjamppong uses octopus and hand-pulled noodles, with a spice that comes across as natural rather than artificial. A small room lets groups eat and talk together, and delivery orders are placed by phone rather than through an app. The tangsuyuk is fried crisp and the sauce is seasoned on the strong side.
